"''The state was sold a bad bill of goods,'' said Jan Roncelli, the Oakland County Clerk's Association treasurer. ''The AutoMARK is not ready for field work yet.''"

There are secure, reliable, simple, and inexpensive ways to accommodate disabled voters.

These junk electronics aren't necessary for that.

They're convenient for election subversion, though.

They also represent robbery of the taxpayers.

Voting machines for the disabeled? You gotta be kidding. This last election the voting machines we used was a large format (or regular -- your choice) touch screen with BIG, well spaced, "buttons". Frankly anybody would have using this to vote would have trouble using anything to vote.

There really are better, cheaper, less-complicated alternatives for the disabled than the faulty electronics.

The electronics aren't reliable or securable. The disabled don't need them. The only ones who want them are those who want it to be convenient and concealable to rig elections
and waste taxpayer resources.
